I took two restarts, my opponent took one. The game only gave me swamp. I didn't use the last restart because there were many external dwellings, and the roads didn't look too bad. But I was very wrong about the roads — the goal was very far and inconvenient, and overall the respawn had a shape far from classic. Additionally, I had a direct road to the snow through a mine, and on the snow I spotted a КВ from the lookout, which, of course, was reassuring. In the end, on the first week I flagged an external dwelling of Hydras, three external dwellings of Wyverns, two external dwellings of Gorgons, two external dwellings of Lizardmen, and two of Gnolls. I didn't build Hydras at home for financial reasons, and built Gorgons and Wyverns in the castle. There was no Underworld on the respawn.

On day 121, Crellion takes a Griffin Conservatory triple, losing a Hydra and some chaff. Then various splits, chains, collected two more Dragon Fly Hives (8+12), another Griffin Conservatory triple (minus the second Hydra), and a +5 Shield. Only on day 124, Crellion breaks the Naga and enters the center. There, immediately a Dragon Fly Hive and a box covering the entire third level, then the Admiral's Hat. The road splits — left to the snow, right a block of Fairies. I free two prisons, one of them has Iona with Expert Logistics and Air Magic. Day 126, Iona breaks a ГО on the snow, Crellion visits a village to replenish mana, on day 127 using scout heroes through a long chain I pick up the КВ on the snow, and Crellion ends the turn in the center in front of the Fairies.

Day 131, via a prison I reach the central dungeon, send Crellion to break it, Gurney is nearby. There are 8 Elder Behemoths and singles, 300+ mana, equal combat stats. I have 15 mana, the game would have been lost, but a scout hero nearby captured a Red Orb. Gurney also has +2 Speed, so I didn't dare attack, sat in the town with the Red Orb. At that moment I had 40 Harpies, 5 Angels, 10 Minotaurs, and 28 Greater Basiliks. I couldn't replenish mana, and the red player was building on their turn. Gurney ran on their turn. Next turn, Iona flew away from there, and Crellion visited the village on the snow to replenish mana and break into the center the following turn. I took a couple of Dragon Fly Hives with Iona, next turn I would have picked up the Sword +5 All and passed it to Crellion. The red player surrendered on their turn — a scout hero there was using only Bears to beat Devils for a Pandora's Box with all Magic, and the losses seemed critical to my opponent, even though there were already КЗ and КВ. Thanks for the game.
